Obama Change

by Peter Macdonald

What has changed? We have a new president and he is Black. Big deal! The first thing that changed is this president spends and spends more than any U.S. President before him on his coming out party. Where does it all end. A president that calls for change during the campaign and uses money in the disaster relief fund for a party is not change it is just a bigger spender.

U.S. citizen’s are so amazed that we have a black president they forget about the conditions that we elected him to help change for the better. Black’s are so thrilled that they are in the white house it is now acceptable to tell all that they expect a bigger piece of the pie. This country (U.S.) in so far past broke that it will take a miracle to correct it.

President Clinton would have put the U.S. on the right path to correcting the wrongs but the christen belief made a big deal out of a indiscretion . We elected Bush on his moral belief’s and his fathers reputation. The Republican party that claims to be conservative dug us a hole by breaking every campaign promise and we the people sucked it right up to re-elect Bush. I voted for Obama but was torn between the two.

I voted for Obama because he promised change and he was young enough to be the change that we needed. Barack before he even takes office has out spent everyone before him. All as people see is the color of skin. We are American people, why do we have to look at skin color. Change would have, should have been this president taking office on the run, and working to make the United States better. There should have been a televised ceremony for any one that wanted to see could have. No money spent.

All parties should have been delayed or called off to show the People (black or white) change was coming. One man had a dream that one day the color of one’s skin would not make a difference. If you want change let us NOT look at the color of ones skin. Let us look at the state of the nation that we call the United States of America and put her first for future generations. That is a change Black or White that would show the world that we are a nation of one (meaning all the citizens have equal rights of justice and of government service) working for our country first.

I hope that the newspapers print this letter. I hope President Obama reads this letter and learns that the color of ones skin can not matter that it is the welfare of our country that must come first. The people of America elected YOU, Barack not on the color of your skin but on the quality of your character. Please make Martin L King Jr. proud of you. This was the change of a man not Black or White but a great person that had a Dream.
